Did you marry really young? Has it lasted? What makes it work for you?

It really depends on who you ask if I married young or not. I got married when I was 22. My husband was 23. We have been married for 2 years now. So far life is still fantastic! I think one of the best things we did was live together before we got married. We knew each others weird habits. We knew how clean (or dirty!) the other person was. We were able to experience all of those things that you cant until you live together. I think one of the other things that works really well for us is that we talk constantly. We talk about unimportant things. We talk about important things. When we dont agree on something, we figure it out. I wouldnt really say that we fight, but we do have disagreements. Sometimes the solution is that we will disagree about. Other times we come to a compromise. I also think it helps that I married the right person! We have the same dreams and goals. We want the same things out of life. And we are both very motivated to get what we want!

I didn't marry young but I have a friend who got married at 19 yrs old. She got pregnant that is why she has to get married. The relationship lasted for 6 years. My friend and her husband (now her ex-hubby) always fight on Money. The guy has no job and is too lazy to get a job. Aside from that he doesn't help with the household chores. My friend will go home from work just to find out that the house is very messy - all dishes are unclean, food at the table was uncovered and unkept. The living room are a mess - throw pillows, magazines, kid's toys are all over and sofa are rearrange. It takes my friend six years to be really pissed off. Now, They are already three years separated and I can say my friend is better without him. She was able to take care of the two kids (age 10 & 8)without him. Honestly, life is better for her without a husband.
